The Felt Studio

Registration open 50 Shades of grey,felt! Online class
2023-06-13 - 2023-07-17
My 50 Shades of Grey, Felt! class has just opened for registration and the class begins on the 17th July 2023.
I’m very excited to be re-launching my third online course round of 50 Shades of Grey, Felt! My students’ feedback has been very humbling and reminds me of why I do what I do. I want to help people make innovative, technically sound felt and encourage them to develop their innate creativity. This course is designed to help you focus on process and technique, by limiting the colour palette to black and white.Makes life simple and also saves money when you are learning!
– Have you always wanted to make unique felt, full of character and beautiful textures?
– Have you wondered how to make felt that is technically sound and interesting?
– Have you wondered how to use recycled fabrics and fibres you have in your stash?
– Would you like to learn to harness and develop your creativity?
If so, then this is the class for you.

Creative Samford is excited to present the Samford and Surrounds ArtsTrails 2023. Every weekend in June, artisans will open their studios and venues for visitors to view and purchase unique, handmade, stunning works of art and crafts.
My studio will be open every weekend in June as part of the Arts Trail, which is one of my favourite local events.

You can also purchase your favourite piece, or a special gift for a special someone while you’re here.
I would love you to come and visit.

The Sanctuary of Meraki: (may-rah-kee) (adj): to put something of yourself into your work.
This joint exhibition, by Brisbane based textile artists Sharyn Hall and Wendy Bailye, has allowed each artist to delve into the essence of their creativity.
Referencing their individual personal narratives, they have constructed a body of work, through joint conversations and individual explorations, finding sanctuary in their creative practice. These imaginative works explore the textures, colours and patterns of the natural and botanical worlds, and bring to life stories and images from personal journeys and travels.
The individual art practices of these artists have created an exotic environment where the viewer is drawn into a world of inspiration and creativity – the Sanctuary of Meraki.

Tuesday to Friday 10am – 2pm
Saturday 10am – 1pm
